The busiest place by far about
Pulaski these bright, sdull spring
days is the new roller mill. Go
down there almost any day from 10
to 2 o'clock, and you will find wag
ons crowding the yards as they do
the public square sometimes dur
ing the cotton season. Last Satur-
day there was more life and stir
down there than in the whole town
besides. Not less than four hundred
bushels of grain, requiring so
or less teams and as many single
mules and horses, came and went
during the day. Lincoln, Marshall,
Lawrence and Limestone, as well as
all sections of Giles were represent
ed. 1t is big thing for Pulaski
